| Summary: | Published very shortly before his death in February 1976, Meaning is the culmination of Michael Polanyi's philosophic endeavors. With the assistance of Harry Prosch, Polanyi goes beyond his earlier critique of scientific ""objectivity"" to investigate meaning as founded upon the imaginative and creative faculties. Establishing that science is an inherently normative form of knowledge and that society gives meaning to science instead of being given the ""truth"" by science, Polanyi contends here that the foundation of meaning is the creative imagination. Largely through metaphorica.
